Profile

Background

Phillippa (Pip) Kyle is a Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor) in Management in the Leadership, Work and Organisation Subject Group at Newcastle University Business School, UK. 

Pip’s current research is focused on safeguarding dancer welfare. This work has been developed through projects examining the Prevalence of Maltreatment of British Dance Professionals, the role of HR professionals and senior leaders in advancing safeguarding and abuse prevention in dance in the UK and coproducing pro- equity policies with dance professionals. These projects have been funded by UK Research Innovation (UKRI), Research England, QR Policy Support Fund and university impact funding. This work has been funded as a result of Pip’s PhD which illustrated a widespread presence of maltreatment in dance in the UK. 

Pip is interested in conducting research with charities supporting survivors of rape and sexual violence. She was previously a Trustee at the Rape and Sexual Abuse Counselling Centre in County Durham and Darlington and is committed to cause driven work on ending violence against women and girls. 

Prior to her current research program, Pip contributed to research exploring children and young people’s experiences of health inequalities. This work examined factors that influence children and young people’s access to opportunities for good health and better understood extra familial harms to children and young people created by systems.
